probation swab test?

[Smoker420]

I have recently been put on probation for my first DUI. I had my find drug test and was surprised to be drug tested by a swab test. I was wondering about the sensitivity of these new swab test. They are swabbed on your cheeks and under your tongue and get results in around 5 mins. Are there any secrets to these test that a smoker should know? Are they as accurate as a urine test? And does the mouthwash that i have seen advertised work? Please help, i don't want to quit for 18 months.

swab tests will test up to 2 days i believe of smoking, but there are ways of shortening it; i recall there being at least a dozen threads if you search.

Do a search in the drug testing forum for swab test. I've personally passed a swab test that was sent to a lab only 36 hours after last smoking.

Here's my history with swab tests:
Passed my oral / saliva lab test 36 hours after last smoke

Prophet Saddam is right in the sense that it will show up to 36 hours; could be even up to 72 hours depending on your metabolism.

FYI: These types tests are very UNRELIABLE! I used to work at a temp agency in which we gave applicants on-site swab drug tests in which it collected their saliva. I know that some people posted a positive test when they had never touched drugs in their life (as they ended up disputing the results and had a drug test conducted by a professional agency which resulted in a negative result on a 10 panel test UA); and vice versa; people who smoked that told me they were not going to pass b/c they just smoked weed that morning ended up passing in panels.

Very unreliable form of testing; but also the cheapest way of testing for drugs. It is supposed to "mimick" what your blood would show, thus "mimicking" a blood test-only the swab method is very, very unreliable.

I would definetly appeal any negative result and get a UA done by an alt agency (you can always rig those piss tests a million diff ways); once you pass this test go back and provide proof of negative test. This to be done if you don't pass the swab test.

^This.

Considering you're on probation, I would play it very safe for right now. What type of testing will you receive? Random or just the possibility whenever you meet your PO?

This is excellent advice coming from a person who knows his shit & spoken like a true Yahookan veteran that of which he is. I couldn't agree more.
